Abstract
A semiconductor device, includes: a first inverter that operates on a first supply voltage and includes a transistor with a first polarity and a transistor with a second polarity different from the first polarity; a first inverter array that is connected to a gate of the transistor with the first polarity, includes a predetermined plural number of inverters connected in series, and operates on the first supply voltage; and a second inverter array that is connected to a gate of the transistor with the second polarity and includes inverters of the predetermined plural number connected in series, wherein a first stage inverter in the second inverter array operates on a second supply voltage that is higher than the first supply voltage, and a subsequent stage inverter subsequent to the first stage inverter operates on the first supply voltage.
